Savory Crock Pot Vegetable Rice Delight

Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients:
Begin by chopping the yellow onion finely, peeling and dicing the carrots, and mincing the garlic cloves. Set these aside.

2. Preheat and Sauté:
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes or until it becomes translucent.

3. Add Aromatics:
Stir in the diced carrots and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Incorporate Tomato Paste:
Mix the tomato paste into the skillet, stirring continuously for about 1 minute to evenly coat the vegetables.

5. Combine in Crock Pot:
Transfer the sautéed vegetables into the crock pot. Add the uncooked long-grain white rice on top.

6. Add Broths and Season:
Pour in the chicken and vegetable broths, ensuring all ingredients are submerged. Sprinkle the kosher salt over the mixture and stir gently to combine.

7. Cook in Crock Pot:
Cover the crock pot with its lid. Set to cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. Check occasionally after 3 hours to ensure the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

8. Serve:
Once the rice is tender and fully cooked, give it a gentle stir. Dish out the savory rice delight onto serving plates, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy.
